Out and About in Quebec and Ontario

Those of you who have followed the journey know that we are
powerless over backroads, so it was inevitable that as we made our way from
Québec City to Montréal we would travel the byways. We don’t do a lot of
picture stops on travel days, but at the village of Sainte Anne de la Pérade we
could not avoid stopping for this church and caught an image of the firehouse
into the bargain.

We had a lovely two days catching up with family in Montréal
during which the camera did not come out of the car.

And then on Monday we bade farewell and set out for home,
but on our way to our first night stop in Cambridge, Ontario we discovered that
we had overestimated time. So rather than getting in to that first stop early
we opted for (surprise, surprise) some backroads, and these took us to Maitland
and the Longley Mill Tower built in the 1820s on the banks of the Saint
Lawrence.

From there, we decided we just had to see the historic
Rideau Canal, a world heritage site in Smith’s Falls. These images are of Wood’s
Mill
